Why I became a WWOOF Host

I have had experience of WWOOFers who were at nearby friends’ properties and have enjoyed the range of people I have met. I am Interested in other people’s experiences and expertise. Being retired I have more time to work with others and hope that this will be an opportunity to tidy up some tasks I don’t get around to..
